A comforting breakfast-inspired Old Fashioned that was designed to pair well with a donut 🍩🥃 The caramel and spice notes in the Rye whiskey work together with the cereal grain notes in the Irish whiskey to create a flavorful base that works nicely with the maple syrup and coffee liqueur. The splash of Islay scotch adds touches of smoke, toffee, and a whisper of salt, the bitters boost the maple and coffee flavors (and add a note of pecan) and the essential oils from a grapefruit twist adds a bright, citrusy aroma
1 oz Rye Whiskey (cask strength or bottled in bond options give more concentrated flavor)
.75 oz Irish Whiskey (Green Spot, Redbreast 12 yr, Knappogue Castle 12, etc)
.25 oz Islay scotch (pick your favorite aged single malt; Ardbeg options have a nice peat/brine profile in this drink)
.25 oz Maple Syrup
Tsp Coffee Liqueur (St George NOLA, Mr Black, etc)
1 dash Maple Bitters (Urban Moonshine)
1 dash Pecan Bitters (Miracle Mile, El Guapo, etc)
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a large ice cube. Garnish with a grapefruit twist
